Which threat detection system can monitor the traffic traversing within the VPC boundary?

The Cloud Intrusion Detection System (Cloud IDS) is specifically designed to monitor network traffic within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) boundary. Its primary function is to inspect incoming and outgoing traffic for suspicious activity or policy violations, identifying and responding to potential threats before they can impact the network or applications.

Cloud IDS utilizes various techniques to analyze traffic patterns, signatures, and anomalies, making it effective in detecting threats such as unauthorized access attempts, malware, and other malicious activities. By being integrated into the VPC, it has visibility into all the data flows that occur within that specific cloud environment, allowing for timely threat detection and response.

In contrast, other options may serve different functions. For instance, advanced URL filtering focuses on inspection and filtering of web traffic based on specific URLs rather than comprehensive traffic monitoring within a cloud infrastructure. Threat monitoring typically refers to the general practice of overseeing various security aspects but does not specifically imply active real-time traffic analysis or detection capability as Cloud IDS provides. Global Protect is primarily a VPN solution that secures remote access to the network rather than monitoring internal VPC traffic.
